TBF, Mags, you have been doing a lot of the heavylifting for the quest, so this will be in good hands.
To be clear to everyone, this is just me burning out on imagination of the quest, since my muse has been hitting me over the head a lot with so many different ideas that I just can't find myself too interested in this.
I'll still hang out here, though, since this still does have a sepcial place in my heart.
I'd like to thank you all for making this a wonderful experience while it lasted.
I'd also like to thank @Magoose, @Fluffy_serpent, and @Martin Noctis for doing so much to help prepare and write this quest. I couldn't have done it without you all.
If George is serious about digital camera, Lucasfilm is serious about CGI…we need a camera company and a microchip company. Cannon and Intel or Motorola would work.
This would also allow synergy with Apple, which would be a great investment.

I personally support Motorola, mostly because I am heavily biased. I have a Motorola phone right now and it's probably the best phone I've ever had in my life bar none.

I'd personally go with Motorola as well. Sometimes it seems to me that Apple always tries to find a way to make itself different to the detriment of the costumer. I much prefer my Motorola phone as well.

The difference is though is that Apple is the most valuable company in the world and Motorola nearly went bankrupt in 2000's and was split into pieces.

Sure but let's not overlook buying Apple when they're at their most cheapest price ever. On further reading I come across evidence that some Motorola executives left for Apple to help build the Iphone. So I'm inclined to buy both.
Its IPO in December was in OTL $102 million, seeing how rich we are right now, that amount is probably going to be less than we will spend in upgrading our legal team...
Nah, the future of entertainment lies in more powerfull computers and technology. We already have powerfull digital camera's, the Walkmen and if we're ever serious of develping CGI/3D animation and entering the video game industry then we need them under LucasFilm.
We could always go into Real Estate, we already have one apartment building, could always buy more and other types of building that could give us a income per turn
TBH, I have been wanting to network with NASA for that exact reason... I would love to put our awesome VFX to make awesome documentaries showing the wonders of the universe...
The Uncanny X-Men: [ Season 1 / Series Pilot (Episodes One / Two) ]
The season begins with the X-Men's archenemy Magneto being transported by a military convoy, unable to use his powers as he is trapped in a force field - that is, until he notices something amiss with the newly rotated security guard, noticing that the guard contains an abnormal, immense amount of ferrous buildup within his system. Forcibly extracting the contents from the man's body, leading to a rather gruesome death [hinted at via silhouette], he the proceeds to the material to escape the convoy at great cost to human lives, and aided by the timely arrival of a band of mutant mercenaries, led by Mystique. She informs him that they share a mutual corporate sponsor [heavily implied to be Frost International], and that it was the will of the client that he be freed and informed about the plans for a mutant homeland, Genosha, so named for the birthplace of the First.
Elsewhere, Jubilee overhears her foster parents talking about her; talking about how the Mutant Control Agency is coming for her. They believe it's the right thing to do and a good place for Jubilee, having been led to believe by Senator Kelly that it is "moral and just to keep mutants from our midst". She runs away from home and starts playing video games at the mall, procrastinating stalling for time as she frantically tries to figure out what to do next when a Sentinel breaks into the mall searching for her. Storm, Rogue, and Gambit fight off the Sentinel, allowing her to escape. Outside the mall, Jubilee runs through a smoke grenade and meets Cyclops before fainting, the inhaled smoke having weakened her. Cyclops destroys the Sentinel to save her, removing its head with his optic beam.
Jubilee wakes up in the Xavier's School for Gifted Children disoriented, and unsure of her whereabouts and fearing for her life, attempts to escape and accidentally stumbles into the Danger Room, where Cyclopes and Gambit are sparring. Lacking any knowledge to the contrary, Jubilee blasts him, thinking Cyclopes would hurt Gambit and helps him in the hopes that the man would help her escape. Morph and Beast rush in to help everyone settle down. Storm takes Jubilee aside and explains about the X-Mansion, Professor X, and their abilities to Jubilee, and what they stand for as X-Men. Using information from the disembodied Sentinel head, it's discovered that the Mutant Control Agency is leaking out information, which is why a Sentinel came for Jubilee.
Soon after, she's led to her potential new room where she finds out that she's being paired with another new student, Rogue. From her, Jubilee learns that all the actual students here, eighteen and under, are meant to be trained in the use of their [often new] powers, to get them under control and maybe even join one of Xaiver's "advancement teams". When Jubilee asks her what that means, Rogue tells her that since they're often targets for various hate groups, they needed a security team to protect the school and do community outreach...but she's also heard that the extraction team, sent out to recruit kids to the school, has had to deal with all sorts of nonsense that's lead them to become known as "superheroes" and "terrorists", depending on who asks. She affirms though, that they mostly just act as CPS social workers and that the main school hasn't ever been directly attacked. Later, Jubilee unsure of what to think and overhearing Scott's tirade that the place's "no place for children" [entirely out of context], tries to go home, thinking Sentinels would come after her foster parents, but she is captured along the way by two Sentinels and Henry Gyrich.
Logan and Kitty, on their way back to the mansion [following the whole debacle with Spider-Man], are informed of Jubilee's disappearance and move to investigate, but find that her trail gets cold just outside her house. The X-Men gather together to break into the Mutant Control Agency headquarters. Wolverine, Morph, Beast, and Storm get inside the perimeter and disable security.
After breaking into the headquarters of the Mutant Control Agency and destroying the mutant files, the X-Men lose two of their own members in a battle with the Sentinels: Beast is captured and imprisoned, and Morph is killed by a Sentinel. Wolverine demands to go back for them, but is prevented by Cyclops and Rogue - he later vows to avenge Morph's death. Meanwhile, Henry Gyrich interrogates a captive Jubilee at his Sentinel-manufacturing facility in Detroit, Michigan.
The President of the United States, Jonathon M. Forrester, publicly announces the X-Men's raid on the "Federal Security Agency" headquarters, and the existence of the Sentinels. Locating Wolverine at a bar, Cyclops asks him to help find the Sentinel's home base. The president orders Gyrich to close down his privately-funded Mutant Registration Programme, concerned that the X-Men might have had good reason to destroy Gyrich's mutant files. Jubilee's foster father calls Gyrich, telling him that Cyclops is in his house, and Gyrich asks him to keep Cyclops at home as long as he can. However, Jubilee's foster father decides to warn Cyclops after his wife tells him the information Cyclops mentioned to her that Jubilee was likely to have been kidnapped by the Sentinels.
A Sentinel attacks Cyclops as the leaves the house. Cyclops fights back, by purposely blasting it's arm off, so the damaged Sentinel could return to base for repairs with the X-Men following it in the Blackbird. They destroy all the Sentinels present and rescue Jubilee, but Gyrich and his manufacturer, Bolivar Trask escape. Jubilee bids farewell to her foster parents, and moves into the Xavier Institute.
Post-Credits: Magneto, having witnessed the events unfold on the news quietly seethes in rage, a slight tremor passing through him as he rubs his left arm over the markings and remembers his time as one of the Sonderkommando. A moment later, he steps forward into the light and marches forward onto a podium, flanked by his lieutenants, and begins to address the Brotherhood gathering before him on the island of Genosha's shores, how this evil cannot stand. A/N: This season is meant to be the setup for several story arcs from the comics to eventually converge, least of which is Days of Future Past, Weapon X and Age of Apocalypse, with the narrative mostly based on Claremont's run with a sprinkling of the Animated Series and Evolution. This first season is also meant to take the general message of X-Men, that of looking for acceptance in a world that does not welcome you, and take it in the direction that heavily implies that not only are hate groups are the literal definition of "skill issue" but also frames them as very...Soviet-minded, with not so subtle digs at McCarthy through Sen. Robert Kelly.
However, and cards on the table, I'm not the biggest fan of the X-Men [a lot of the recent runs have pretty much killed it for me], though I am pretty fond of Wolverine, which leaves me in the awkward position of not having a lot of unique material for this series; as such, if anyone is interested in helping me flesh out the rest of this season, and/or the rest of the series, feel free to PM me and we can get started.
Also, for those interested, here the MCAU's basic outline:
Each show is roughly three seasons, with each season being roughly eight to twelve episodes, running at roughly forty minutes apart; this is done partly for quality control and partly to give space to other shows and characters throughout the year. As for why only three seasons, it's so that these shows can take a break so that the writers have time to come up with new storylines, and try their hands at other Marvel characters.
As an example of a general schedule as to what that would look like:
[EDIT: Oh, and this is more for a later episode, the Avengers crossover, but it's supposed to be revealed that the Sentienls are partly based on Starktech designs.]
We could always go into Real Estate, we already have one apartment building, could always buy more and other types of building that could give us a income per turn
...... I want to do this mostly because it makes us even more like a certain joestar character.....
Honestly at this point discovering we have been playing in a JoJo crossover would not be surprising.... Our boy is kind of ticking all the marks and our daughter.....
Well, ya know how stands sometimes partially manifest while young? Her genius could, in JoJo be partially attributed to that....
Imagine a mathematics based stand or the like....
.... Now I'm trying to picture what each of our stands would be....

Interestingly, I think most of Claremont's run is just beginning, with us being in his fifth year. Days of Future Past is about to be released next year, and Age of Apocalypse is, oddly enough, a byproduct of the animated series as that's where it first debuted.
All in all, it seems fine, but I would like to know when exactly are we debuting this series. Jubilee is not due to be created until 9 more years have passed, and Kitty Pride has just recently been introduced, so if we want to try and do the series during the 80s then we can change characters.
One suggestion i would like to give is perhaps a limited TV animated series showing the adventures of Captain America. The "Star Spangled man with the Plan" deserves to have his own cartoon and his own adventures immortalized. We could even show some cameos, perhaps even having it lead to the creation of the Invaders at some point.
So, 8 to 12 episodes per season with 40 minutes per episode. That's cool, it will run contrary to most of animated shows, but we can get away with it if we go with us preferring Quality over quantity, in both animation and writing.

I went with Jubilee partly because Kitty Pryde is much older here, having canonically dated the MCAU Spider-Man at one point in the past [Imma say...in College, during his "Spidey and Amazing Friends" era when he was college roommates with Johnny Storm and Bobby Drake] when she was the MCAU Black Cat, and partly because I felt out of the many X-Men characters she was the most natural fit to be an original character that undergoes a character migration.

I was honestly planning on having a lot of that told through flashback during Captain America's turn as the POV character in Avengers Season 2, kinda how it was in Earth's Mightiest Heroes...but more willing to use gadgets and whatnot than that incarnation. Can't stand the "Technology cannot beat the strength of skill and will!" preaching they kept having him hammer in like it was catchphrase.
Like, it's one thing if it's the enemy, but he said that at least once an episode to his friends.

It's also so that, by at least the early 2000s, America can largely go without thinking that cartoons are for just kids, since I'm hoping that, although family friendly, nets us the 15-24 age range kinda like Avatar does OTL.

Hmmm, making it all connected works as well. I'm sure this will make manny fans wonder about Spider-man's dating life and where does it fit canonically with the comics. So Kitty Pryde goes on to become an S-Men later on and actually become a member before the need to have her appear in X-Men: Evolution (I loved that show, and I'd be a bit sad if it was not made). I can dig this, hopefully her relationship with both Strom and Wolverine manages to translate into the show as well.

If you don't mind, I'm thinking on making a Captain America animated series, but one that mostly focuses on his advnetures during WWII. I think there is enough material to work with for at least a couple of seasons before he's frozen in ice.
